Gads,  this is hilarious.   I have been one of the biggest complainers of 
people who don't check out rumors before posting.   F-Secure, which is a name 
change from an older firm, is also very accurate and reliable on virus and 
hoax stuff.  I used cut and paste as opposed to a forward of their e-mail as 
a courtesy to them.   If you actually read the whole thing all there contact 
information, phone numbers, web sites etc is a the bottom.   Their alerts are 
timely and accurate.  I have posted these as there may be some who haven't 
signed up for an alert, but who might like to be aware of them.

Having said all that, this list is a democracy of sorts.   If the majority 
don't want me to post these alerts in the future, I won't, but if the 
majority do want me to, I will, and Bob, you can delete them.   Fair enough???
